VIMARSHNAARAD TVContinuous rainfall in Bareilly has exposed the fragility of the city's infrastructure. According to reports from Amar Ujala, the lack of proper drainage systems in the Ramganganagar area caused a significant portion of the road and drainage network to sink, making movement difficult for local residents.
Incidents of house collapses have also been reported across various parts of the city. Reports indicate that three houses suddenly crumbled due to the relentless rain. Several vehicles parked nearby were buried under the debris, resulting in significant property damage for the owners.
The impact of this disaster was also felt on major thoroughfares. Traffic on the Dargah Ala Hazrat road came to a complete standstill as debris covered the path. Commuters and motorists faced considerable hardship due to the blockage.
